Tuesday Keynote
Washed Away: Lessons Learned from the 1,000-Year Rain in Boulder County, Colorado
When extraordinary disaster strikes, even the best emergency plans may need rethinking. Staff from the Boulder County Assessor’s Office share lessons learned from a 1,000-year rain that led to cataclysmic flooding and forever changed the landscape, business processes, and lives of residents in Boulder County.

Wednesday Plenary Session
St. Johns River Water Management District Land Assessment Project: a GIS-based Analysis
Learn how GIS is being used to review water management district properties and determine if inventory can be reduced or repurposed based on “overall conservation value."

Thursday Closing Plenary
How Unmanned Systems Can Help with Aerial Imagery
Unmanned systems will never completely replace manned aerial imagery. But in very specific instances, the unmanned system is the right tool.

The opportunity to learn about new products by visiting with GIS/CAMA exhibitors and sponsors is always an important part of this conference. Thanks in advance to Esri - Platinum Sponsor and Thomson Reuters - Bronze Sponsor and a number of exhibitors who have already reserved a booth space (note that discounts are available until December 31).

Complete conference details are posted  online. Discounted early registration fees are offered until January 6, 2014.
